OEHIGIHL CITY PIPER.

minneapolis Panic.Stricken, is the
caption of an interesting article in
recent issue Of the Duluth DAILY
News" referring to the announce
ment of the intention of the Manitoba
and Northern Pacific companies to
cease to discriminate in favor or the
city at the falls of st. Anthony. and
to make equal rates On grain to Min
nenpoiis and Duluth. To the dwell
ers on the vast prairie traversed by
these roads the outcome OF this policy
will bear much that is interesting
and instructive. It will demonstrate
the fact, among other things, that even
powerful railroad corporations cannot
withstand the tide of events. So long
as the law permitted formidable oom-
b;nations of money and commercial
interest to divert from its natural
channel the flow of trade, so long was
the great army OF producers COMPEL
ed to contribute to the maintenance
of the monstrous scheme. 1t is moth
ing, then, to the credit Of prudent
railway management that the great
fact that Natures highways must be
closely parallelied to ensure final sue
cess has been recognized. The wes-
tern extremity of Lake Superior
which points with unwayering index.
finger to the unalserable seat of fu
ture empire, is the natural outlet of
our fertile plains to the eastern world
and no longer can tribute to Minnea.
pulls be enforced where none is due.
She may have as much Of the wheat
OF the great belt as she can pay for
and grind. No longer does the Wheat
Ring which she fostered hold us by
the throat and compel from US the
product of our fields. The siege is
raised, and the day Of deliyerance is
at hand.
Amidst our congratulations it is
we'll to bear in mind that in the tenn
porary animosities between compan-
les like the Minneapolis and Pacific
and the Manitoba, the public welfare
cuts no important figure, except in
it's more or less indirect relation with
the item of "gross receipts" The
company which few short years ago
was the willing helper in system of
oppression of our farmers worse than
that endured by the fellaheen of
Egypt can claim no particular consid-
Grafton to-day when self-interest
prompts to practical recognition of
the great, resistless flow of events.

We know our readers will enjoy

Cranfill mistakes again. We are
not his enemy. A man to win our
enmity must be of some force in the
community. Some one must respect
him or fear him. Now we have never

who will stand and have another man
say to him what q gentleman OF this
city said to him last summer, is far
beneath our hate. We can only pity
and despise.-Waco Examiner.
The Examiner, MS usual, falls into
error. No gentleman of this city
has ever said anything unpleasant to
Crantill. He has often been abused
by thugs, but not by gen item Q n
Bartows idea of what it takes to con

The cotton crop is gathered and we know
that some have made one half, one third and
one fourth bale to the acre, while none
have failed to make bale to four acres
when they worked the crop. Corn is still
worth 40 to so cents while comparatively
few people have gone recklessly in debt,
and on the whole they are in better condi-
ton than they were last year. l have spent
one day with Mr.. Zachery, on Clear fork,
he came here few years ago and rented a
few years and then he and his several boys
bought each farm from one to two hun
dred acres. They don't drink, swear or
play "keards," and to-day they own the
lands of the rich aud rollicksome boys who
have fallen victims to King Alcohol
The land is all rented in "these parts
and no trouble to rent it for four dollars
per acre. Large bodies are usually rented
at q third and fourth of the produce. The
thriftless class of small farmers are beng
swallowed up by the large farmers. Bush
ness in the town is slowly on the increase.
The people are church-going, school-pat,

Gordon or JacksOn-.-Which Best Rep
I resents the Southern Perple?

The San Antonio Express says;
Gen. Gordon is making some brave
and manly speeches in Ohio, and is
rejecting the sentiments OF the great
masses of the southern people; but
his speeches themselves show that
the Macon incident has again placed
the south on the defensive in north
ern political campaigns, thing that
might have been avoided if Gordon
instead of Jackson, had made the
"big talk" at the Macon celebration.
The most distinguished honors to
Davis, or display of sentiment over a
tattered Confederate battle-fag, would
of themselves have amounted to lit
tie, if anything; but taken in connec-
ton with Jackson's speech-a speech
condemned and repudiated every
where-will enable the northern re-
publicans to make mountain out oil
a mole-hill unless they are met face
to face, just as Gordon is meeting
them now.
Unfortunately the Express is mis-
taken as to Jackson's sentiments be
ing repudiated and condemned every
where at the South Right in it,
own city, its evening contemporary
the San Antonio Times, says:
Episodes of the kind at Macon vii
come up, rs long as the men live wht

not like, but his idea that the doctrine

At every political jarring in France
OF late, we hear the cry, "Vive Bou-
LANCER" Some day it may be taken
up in Paris, spread 10 every hill and
valley in France, and reverberate in
tho rattle OF musketry and the thun-
der OF cannon. Say what the leaders
may, Boulanger is closer TO the peo'
pie of France to-day than any other
man in the country, and ian injury
TO him is the concern OF ALL Bou-
LANCER will return to the capital be-
fore many moons full and wane. How
he will go remains to be seen.-San

We are heartily sick of the stuff, OF
which the above is a sample, which

has he ever done to give him the
prestige claimed for hint Literally
nothing. He appears to be sort OF

itary decorations, showing at once a

Attempted Suicide.
(BlaneO News, s1th ul'J

On last Tuesday morning Drs. Duncan
and Price we're summoned In haste to At
tend Capt A. ]. Kercheville, who had his
head split open with m AK.
Several parties left town to ascertain the
extent of the Captains injuries, and quickly
found that he had attempted suicide.
II seems that soon In the morning Capt
X. had taken his axe. saying he would go
down toward the river (some two hundred
yards) and cut little dry fire wood. In
his usual quiet manner he then left home
and arriving where there was some good
dry wood 1t is presumed he. sat down for
short time.
Near by was tree upon which he hung
his hat, after having broken of twig. A
small tree near by, and which forked about
two feet from the ground, was bloody, and
IL is thought by some that he sat down and
placed his head in the fork, and in that po-
sition made about twenty ticks with his axe,
cutting his head terribly with the axe.
Others think the blows were made while he
was either on his feet or knees, as the limbs
on the tree would have warded off the blows
from the axe. We think the latter theory
most likely correct. One stroke Of the axe
split the skull some four inches, leaving the
brain exposed, pieces of the skull being en-
tirely gone, and on Tuesday evening when
the wounds were dressed the pulsations of
the brain could be easily seen.
A short time after, Mr.. Smith kellam'
who was cutting out road some hundred
Yards away, in sighting his course through
the brush noticed man staggering aimless-
" about. Mr.. Kellam. on discovering who
il was ran to him and said, ''why Capt,
what on earth is the matter" The Captain
replied: "Smith, have lived long enough. ="
Mr., Kellam Immediately raised the alarm
aud got Capt. X. to his home. The Cap
taln's wife and family were of course thun-
der.struck over the horrible affair, and his
wife said to him: "Jack, what did it? How
did it happen?" He replied: "That Is
matter between me and my God"
Up to this writing that is about all the
Captain has said about the matter At this
writing Capt X. is still conscious though
there is no hope of his recovery.
On last Saturday Capt. X. was in town
with his family. as cheerful as usual, and
his most intimate friends cannot possibly
guess his motive for taking his own life
